imagesearch won't work

[mortog]

Hey everyone,

I'm trying to create a script that will eventually search through a bunch of images, but I can't even get the basics to work.

Could anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Below is the code and the steps I've taken trying to solve the problem:

#Include <ImageSearch.au3>

HotKeySet("{ESC}", "Terminate")

Func Terminate()
    Exit 0
 EndFunc

global $y = 0, $x = 0

While 1

   Sleep (2000)
   $search = _ImageSearch("test.jpeg", 1, $x, $y, 20)
   Sleep (2000)
   If $search = 1 Then
      MsgBox (0, "" , "succes!")
   Else
      msgbox (0, "", $search)
   EndIf

WEnd

- the file test.jpeg is just a screenshot of the section that says: "global $y = 0, $x = 0".

- I've tried the 32 and 64 bit versions of imagesearch

- the DLL file is in the windowssystem32 folder and the imagesearch file in the autoitinclude folder

- I've also tried the example from >this site but obviously with referencing my test image.

Thanks in advance for your help!

I've attached the test image.

Screenshot a bmp image instead of jpg.

Thanks for the suggestion, it still returns a 0 value though.

Try using image search area and telling it to scan the entire desktop.
 

_ImageSearchArea('test.jpeg', 1,0,0,@DesktopWidth,@DesktopHeight,$x,$y,0)

That also gives me a result of 0.

Could anyone perhaps give me a working example of imagesearch so I can use that to work my way back to what's causing this problem? I'm getting the feeling either my dll file or imagesearch file is wrong.

The code works fine for me if I create my own desktop BMP so not worth posting the same code.

the script is right friend, the folder that contains your script must contain tanbem the image you want to find and ImageSearch file. Use invez bmp to jpeg.

Same problem here.

I copy your script and try with the 32 and 64 bits, but the script always give me 0.

Obviously I make an screen shot of  an icon of my desktop.

#Include <ImageSearch.au3>

HotKeySet("{ESC}", "Terminate")

Func Terminate()
    Exit 0
 EndFunc

global $y = 0, $x = 0

While 1

    Sleep (2000)
    Local $search = _ImageSearch('test.jpg', 0, $x, $y, 0)
    Sleep (2000)
    If $search = 1 Then
        MsgBox (0, "" , "succes!")
    Else
        msgbox (0, "", $search)
    EndIf
WEnd

 

Finally you make it work?

I have same problem too, can't see imagesearch work, 

im trying to make macro for daily use but seems i cant get the very basic of imagesearch

is imagesearch have restriction size?

also what .bmp format that work for image search?

because while i try to save to .bmp from paint, it give many option of .bmp format (monochrome, 16color, 256color, 24bit of bitmap)

im using Win 8.1 64bit and already fix .dll problem and i don't know what else wrong with this

anw super noob question for ImageSearchArea im using coor of mouse position from autoit info "Position : 222, 333" [222=x1 , 333=y1 ] right?

 

#include "ImageSearch.au3"

HotKeySet("p", "checkForImage")
HotKeySet("o", "checkImageSearch")
HotKeySet("q", "quit")
global $y = 0, $x = 0

Func checkForImage()
Local $result = _ImageSearchArea('Untitled.bmp', 1,1, 1, 330, 530, $x, $y, 0)
If $result = 1 Then
   MsgBox(0, "DONE", & $x  "," & $y)
Else
   MsgBox(0, "ERROR AREA", & $x  "," & $y)
EndIf
EndFunc

Func checkImageSearch()
Local $all = _ImageSearch('Untitled.bmp', 1, $x, $y, 0)
If $all = 1 Then
MouseMove($x, $y, 10)
 MsgBox(0, "DONE", & $x  "," & $y)
 Else
   MsgBox(0, "ERROR ALL", & $x  "," & $y)
EndIf
EndFunc

while 1
sleep(200)
WEnd

Func quit()
   Exit
   EndFunc
